Direct Selling News -April, 2009 -Keeping the Dream Alive—How Great Leaders Do It.

 Leading with Excellence

At MonaVie, excellence is the name of the game. The company’s laser like focus on the personal health and wealth of their independent distributors has fueled the dreams of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. This company, which puts philanthropy as high on the balance sheet as
profits, believes in the pursuit of both excellence and personal responsibility.

While the U.S. government was introducing its trillion-dollar stimulus package, Mona Vie was busy creating a stimulus package of its own: A Program for Financial Freedom Through Personal Responsibility.  “We have never waited—nor will we ever wait—on the government to solve our problems,” says Dallin Larsen, Founder and President of Mona Vie, which reached cumulative sales of $1 billion in less than four years.

Larsen in no way downplays the incredible burden placed upon people around the world during these challenging economic times, nor does he consider himself an economist or attempt to espouse a particular political persuasion. “I don’t especially like politics,” Larsen says, “but I do enjoy leading a company that provides hope and helps create freedom for people. I enjoy being surrounded by people who are willing to finish what they start rather than playing politics with people’s livelihoods.”

Larsen believes in the value of hard work and the power of a dream to change lives. Raised in a small community in the farmlands of Idaho, Larsen was taught by his parents as a young child to earn something before he bought it and not to go into debt for anything other than a mortgage. “My parents showed me a verse of scripture as a teenager that said something along the line of: ‘By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou labor, all the days of thy life.’ ” Larsen says that our current economic situation illustrates that this was a lesson not followed very well by many of the world’s top banking and financial institutions.

Larsen believes that direct selling is the finest business model on earth. In the MonaVie model, he says, “you don’t get it before you earn it, but you can earn while you learn.”

As MonaVie rapidly expands, Larsen is committed to keeping the company exceptional. “I expect us to be exceptional in every way,” he says. From the warehousing and distribution departments to product development and quality, every department at MonaVie works to support distributors in extraordinary ways.
Extraordinary service is especially important in times of a global economic downturn, and Larsen is especially proud of how the company pays commissions. “We pay commissions every single Friday; we call it ‘Good Friday.’ In more than 180 weeks of paying commissions every Friday, each commission payment has cleared the bank, and we’ve never missed a payment. We do that for the distributor. We do everything for the distributor. We do it to be exceptional.”

By trying to follow the simple wisdom of his parents, the spirit and culture of MonaVie is thriving globally. “We’ve become a beacon of hope and light and an example of what can be accomplished through persistence, determination and commitment,” Larsen says.  You can bet that MonaVie will never do less than its best, whatever the economic climate.

A dream is being born every moment of every day in every country of the world. Regardless of the economic storm—or, rather, despite or because of it—a fresh new idea is flowering, coming into focus. Right now, at this moment, a woman in New Orleans is starting a business of her own. A woman in Brazil is discovering a direct selling business opportunity. A young man in China is discovering that he can make ends meet by joining a direct selling company based in Canada.

Here’s to reaching for the stars rather than fastening our seat belt. Here’s to rocking the boat. Here’s to distinguishing our industry as never before. Here is to tuning out the fear and turning up the dream power.  Here’s to leaders who help their people fulfill the promise and the dream that is called direct selling. Here’s to the hundreds of thousands of heroes in our sales organizations who are out there, on the front lines, offering others a hand. Let us seize this moment.

Cheryl Burke’s Healthy-Life Confessions

 By Elizabeth Jenkins

Cheryl Burke, the two-time Dancing with the Stars winner and entrepreneur (she owns a San Francisco dance studio and recently launched a fitness clothing line, chats with Health about how she maintains her amazing dancer’s body, what always gets her energized, and her favorite body part (no, it’s not her legs).

My greatest health accomplishment is:

Not eating fast food!

The health sin I regret most is:
Not wearing sunscreen.

The one thing that gets me energized the fastest is:
Loud music.

My body rocks because …
I dance my butt off.

The key to a flat stomach is:
My workout video Disco Abs.

If I could have any other celeb’s body part, it would be …
Nancy O’Dell’s legs.

Because?
They are so long!

One thing people don’t know about dancing is:
It’s the best workout you can get.

Three healthy things in my fridge right now are:
1. egg whites
2. turkey
3. MonaVie [açai–fruit juice blend]

 

 

 Applicant of the Week: MonaVie

How this producer of health drinks has gotten the attention of celebs like Rachel Ray, and is saving the rainforest one acai berry at a time.

by Alexandra Johnson

 As applications for the 2009 Inc. 500 | 5000 arrive, we thought it would be worthwhile to shine a spotlight on some of the companies that are vying to appear on our ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.  One that caught our eye was South Jordan, Utah-based MonaVie.

If you've been on the internet at all, then you've probably seen countless acai berry ads. The supplement, said to help joint pain, high cholesterol, and weight loss, has been riding a wave of popularity. MonaVie's line acai berry-based juices are coming along for the ride.

"The acai berry is very high in antioxidants, and has observable health benefits," says MonaVie CFO Devin Thorpe. "Most people who drink the juice love how it makes them feel. In today’s society where proper nutrition has taken a backseat to fast food and convenience, our bodies really thank us when we give it something healthful and nutritious."

The company, which was founded in 2005, sells the juices in eight countries and the United States through direct selling, much like Avon or Mary Kay. They're also launching a new energy drink, Emv, this month.

"It also includes the acai berry and 80 percent real fruit juice, so instead of being sugar water, it's real, carbonated fruit juice with a blend of energizing herbs and natural sources of caffeine, so it gives people the boost of energy they're looking for from healthy calories and a healthy source of caffeine," explains Thorpe.

But what Thorpe is most proud of is the company's commitment to the communities they harvest from in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. By giving the acai berry economic value, he explains, they've helped to create economic incentive to preserve the rainforest rather than burn it for grazing land. The company also runs after-school programs for local kids and provides housing to some of their families.

"It started as a grassroots effort years ago, and we now have a multi-million dollar program that is changing lives down there," says Thorpe. "We're excited that we can really make a difference in the communities we're involved in."

 

Unprecedented in the publishing history of the  Success Magazine Mona Vie has been featured for the 4th time. The issue focuses on just introduced energy drink and provides very comprehensive description of the company as 5 star opportunity/ PRODUCT, MANAGEMENT, TIMING,CAUSE AND COMPENSATION PLAN/.
